I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Your Excellency the Third King has no memory of the last time he had a nosebleed.

If he had nosebleeds, it probably could only be caused by going wild all day in elementary school or fighting with seniors.

As for ordinary children, their nosebleeds are usually caused by dry capillaries in the nasal cavity.

Alice is just an ordinary kid.

Even in Zhou Fangzun's eyes, she is a little weaker than ordinary children.

Because she is too stupid, she is very, very easy to be deceived.

In addition, she has a big heart, and basically has no overnight hatred with anyone—the two heartless dogs who abandoned her, she also went from being sad and disappointed at the beginning to now "I don't know that Xiaobai and Dahei are outside. Are you doing well?" concerns.

And according to Kusanagi, in the afternoon when she was rescued from the kidnappers, Alice not only happily ate two ice creams, but also slept soundly like a pig at night. Little snoring, because I caught a little cold.

"And I didn't close my eyes all night, and I was afraid that she would wake her up at any time if she had a nightmare."

When Kusanagi Izumo said this, he took a sip of the absinthe half relieved and half melancholy.

"But that's good too," Kusanagi said again.

Although Alice is always like a cat's-eye snail, crying when she is squeezed by others, the only thing that may make her feel sad for a long time is the "separation" so far.

Zhou Fangzun grabbed his quilt and pressed it against Alice's nose, and then spent a few seconds thinking about countermeasures.

He remembered that Hatta was fighting with someone before, and he was punched on the nose (although that person received more punches later), and he was bleeding profusely like Alice.

Later, when he finished beating someone with blood all over his face, the nosebleed also stopped.

However, this method of emphasizing "letting go" is obviously not suitable for Alice, and was quickly passed by Zhou Fangzun.

Then he remembered that ten bundles of tatara also had nosebleeds.

Anna came here at that time, because her eyes could only see red. This precocious and silent child always regarded eating as a task to maintain her vital signs rather than a great enjoyment in life. It is impossible to have everything, unless she keeps holding the glass ball made of her own blood in front of her eyes.

So in order to make Anna more interested in eating more, Shishu Tatara crazily tried to cook with red ingredients during that time, among which the most related to red is of course chili peppers.

And the things made can't be wasted, so when this salty-sweet idiot ate heavy and spicy food for two weeks in a row, ten bunches of tatara had a nosebleed in full view of everyone.

"What a shame."

Even though he said so, Tokuta Tara's expression didn't seem to feel that way at all.

"If you know it's embarrassing, quickly raise your head up!!"

Hatta Misaki yelled anxiously, the voice was so loud that Zhou Fangzun, who had just come back from the outside, thought they were arguing, stood by the door and watched for a few seconds to figure out what happened before collapsing on the sofa.

—He tilted his head up.

He stretched out his hand to hold Alice's fleshy chin—although this little guy hasn't jumped up much in height, he has gained weight recently, and he is even a kilogram heavier than before he got sick. His face is a bit rounder than before, but she More flesh is growing up the legs.

When she was wearing skirts in the summer, Eric once said that her two chubby legs were as fat as Lala in "Final Fantasy 14".

The original intention of these words is actually to praise her cuteness, because there is no FF14 player who can not like Lala Fei.

However, Alice doesn't know what Lala Fat is.

She just felt that the word "fat" sounded a bit jarring.

She felt that Eric could call her fat, or that she was round and chubby, but the word "fat" really hurt the little guy.

Alice was so wronged that she stubbornly wore long trousers for two days in a row in the scorching hot weather of 38 degrees.Still black.

She forcibly covered herself with prickly heat on her leg, itching so much that she sat on the sofa, hugging the pillow and weeping aggrievedly.

Kusanagi heard the cry and came to ask what happened, cut Eric and told her very solemnly that no matter what she wore, she was beautiful.And, except for the weather and occasion, no one can judge her clothes at will, and she can ignore it.

Alice, who was comforted, stopped crying immediately.The next day she changed back to her skirt, and Zhou Fangzun only noticed the prickly heat on her chubby legs when she was sitting opposite the sofa watching TV, and then heard about it from Kusanagi.

Although Zhou Fangzun didn't know that the method he used was incorrect, Alice's nosebleed was still stopped.

After Youchai tried to push away his hand covering his nose, Zhou Fangzun graciously peeled her out of the blood-stained quilt.

"Ready?" he asked.

Alice nodded, and cast her eyes on the little bear doll beside her.

Zhou Fangzun stared at her face, more and more uncomfortable.Then he slipped Alice to the bathroom and wiped her face with warm water on his own towel.

The blood-stained pajamas and quilt were stuffed into the washing machine by the Red King.

And the little bear doll, which was also affected by Alice's nosebleed, received the supreme honor of being hand-washed by the Red King himself.

Kusanagi Izumo came back with Anna and Toku Tara, and when they saw the world-famous painting "Our King is washing things by himself", the former two froze in shock, while the latter silently took out his camera and froze. Press the shutter, the "click" sound of the shutter made the Red King so angry that he almost poured all the water in the basin in his hand.

You must know that before this, the Red King's attitude towards "washing" has always been: as long as there are three things in the world, washing machines, dryers and dry cleaners, it is enough.

However, Alice's bear cannot be thrown into the washing machine.In addition, she was unwilling to send her beloved little doll to the dry cleaning shop, and suffered the pain of parting, and it is well known that the blood coagulation is very difficult to deal with, so the Red King had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and start washing.

"So why are you washing Liz's little bear all of a sudden?" Kusanagi glanced at the contents of the basin. The little bear itself was dark brown, and after being soaked in water, it was almost black. It looked like Alice. .

"Where's Liz?"

"Sleep." Zhou Fangzun said, "She had a nosebleed just now."

After speaking, as if to prove it, Zhou Fangzun fished Alice's cub out of the basin.He clenched his five fingers tightly, and squeezed the cotton and flannelette soaked with water, and the water dripping from it was light pink.

Kusanagi froze for a moment, "Why?"

Zhou Fangzun replied with a shrug: He doesn't know.

If even Kusanagi didn't know Alice's physical condition, then Zhou Fangzun was even less clear.

"...When Liz wakes up, I'll take her to the hospital."

"Is this going to the hospital too?" Tokuta Tara was surprised by this.In his cognition, nosebleed is just a kind of "little problem" that everyone will have.

"There are many causes of nosebleeds, and we can just go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup before the New Year." Kusanagi glanced at him and changed the subject, "Ten Shu, how long has it been since you, a shy fellow, went to the hospital for a physical examination?"

"I only went there the year before last!" In order to avoid the medical examination that was no longer possible to avoid, Shi Chuan began to change the subject, "Maybe Liz's nosebleed is too dry, isn't it like Anna before? Every day with Liz Turn on the air conditioner."

Anna nodded.She felt that simple dryness was better than other inexplicable diseases.

"Whether it is or not, it is better to go to the hospital for a physical examination."

Obviously, this is an unassailable decision.

Ten bunches of Duo Duo Liang showed a rare look of bitterness on their faces.

Kusanagi Izumo patted him on the shoulder—not in the sense of consolation, but in the meaning of persuading him to accept his fate and go to the medical examination obediently—then walked out of the laundry room and prepared to go upstairs.

However, when he passed the jukebox next to his beloved bar, Kusanagi Izumo paused, then stepped back to the jukebox, took a coin from his pocket and threw it in.

Anna, who was beside him, also looked at the jukebox curiously. Although she couldn't understand what happened to this antique furniture, she could understand from Izumo's gradually darkened face that the value of this antique furniture A big dive has already been made for some human reason.

Kusanagi returned to the laundry room again, and Zhou Fangzun immediately threw Alice's bear back into the basin.Kusanagi saw it, but at this moment, all he could think about was "who moved my jukebox".

"The jukebox is broken, is it you or Liz?" Kusanagi asked directly, leaving no room for Zhou Fangzun to argue.

Zhou Fangzun was stunned for a moment, and Huo De remembered the music that stopped abruptly when he was lying on the bed before.

"……I."

After two seconds, Zhou Fangzun said blankly.

"Well, it looks like it's Liz." Kusanagi looked at his face and nodded.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

"She just had a nosebleed." The Scarlet King began to plead for her.

"I know." Kusanagi said, "Otherwise, why do you think I'm still standing here chatting with you?"

The implication is that if Alice hadn't had a nosebleed, she would have been caught by Kusanagi from upstairs and taken to the jukebox for criticism and education.

The Red King dared not speak any more.

He is indeed king.

But at the level of social experience, in front of Kusanagi Izumo, who is older than him, everyone in Barbara is a "younger brother", the kind who can't find a reason to refute when they are scolded.

Kusanagi looked through his address book from beginning to end, and finally found a person who knew how to repair such an old antique.

——Yato.

Although the second-in-command of Barbara didn't understand that a young man in his early 20s would know how to repair old antique machinery, it was better than nothing.After asking about the repair price and what tools he needed to provide, he made an appointment with Yato—as soon as possible.

"Alright! I'll be there soon!" The voice on the other end of the phone was quite brisk.

Seeing that the phone in his hand hadn't been hung up, Kusanagi Izumo heard Barbara's doorbell ring.

"Boss!" The black-haired and blue-eyed young man poked his head in from the door, "I just happened to pass by here, so I ran over here!"

Kusanagi Izumo: "..."

This "soon" is really beyond his imagination.

This time, the fee-based night fighting still insists on only 5 yen.

Kusanagi Izumo got used to it, and took out two plates of chocolate from Alice's snacks and gave it to the housekeeping king.

There is true love in the world, and there is true love in the world.Yatogami gratefully put the chocolate into his pocket, took out a screwdriver from the toolbox Kusanagi had prepared, and began to tinker with the jukebox while chatting with Izumo Kusanagi.

"Is this jukebox Mr. Kusanagi newly bought by you? I don't remember seeing it the last time I came here."

"Yes. Got it from the auction house last week."

"Wow, didn't that cost a lot of money? This machine looks pretty good." Yato's movements became a little lighter.Facing this kind of big guy who can't afford to sell himself, his attitude has always been very humble.

"It's okay. Most of the buyers in that auction house are not interested in this kind of thing. I was lucky enough to miss it."

"I see." It would be annoying to go on any further, and Yato didn't continue to ask further questions.

About another minute or two later, Kusanagi Izumo went upstairs.

Yato, who was working diligently on the jukebox, was also seen from the side of the case after he went upstairs, and there was a small label attached there.

[のろ赛り场]

This name made Yetou's heart skip a beat.

Wait!

Isn't this the auction house where conjurers often auction off spell tools and various spell skeletons? !

Although some spell tools are indeed old enough to be called antiques, why would they be auctioned in such a place? !

Mr. Kusanagi is a conjurer?

No, probably not.

It is quite easy to distinguish between conjurers and ordinary people. The magic power flowing in their bodies is the same as seeing the flow of chakra by opening their eyes to Yato.

So should you remind your benefactor?

Yato thought about it, and at the same time, he finally opened the case of the jukebox, revealing the inner structure.

After careful investigation, he discovered the violation.

The electrolytic capacitor inside was melted by high temperature.

In the puddle of rubber and smell that is still a little soft when you press your fingers up, there is a causal relationship that has been reversed.

To put it simply, "burnt electrolytic capacitor" is the cause, and "the jukebox is broken" is the effect.

The jukebox failed because the electrolytic capacitors burned.

But now, in this machine, this natural causal relationship has been reversed by someone.

One hopes that "the jukebox is broken", so "the electrolytic capacitor is burnt".

Yato silently cleaned up the pool of melted plastic, and after that, he only needed to ask Kusanagi Izumo to find a way to get a part of the same model back and replace it, and everything would be fine.

As far as the maintenance work itself is concerned, the whole process was very easy and pleasant.

There was a relaxed smile on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw Mr. Kusanagi coming down the stairs with his daughter in his arms.

The little girl in the little dinosaur one-piece pajamas lay on Mr. Kusanagi's shoulders, and when she saw Yato, she obediently called out "Hello, brother."

It's "brother" not "uncle"!

This kid has such a sweet mouth!

Yato God's heart that was always called "Uncle" by elementary school students was healed.

He told Kusanagi Izumo the model of the parts that needed to be replaced, and the calm man agreed. After placing Yato on the sofa, he put the daughter in his arms on the ground, and told her that he was playing outside the door. A phone call, Anna and Duo Liang are in the darkroom where the photos are developed, and Zun is helping her wash the dolls in the laundry room, and find whoever she wants to play with.

Alice said yes.However, after Kusanagi walked away, she still stood beside Yato, and after hesitating for a while, she asked Yato: "Brother, can you fix it?"

"Of course!" Yato puffed up his chest, but soon, his blue eyes became slightly hollow, as if he had been stripped of his humanity, or he was just pretending to be a human from the beginning, and asked indifferently, "This, is it Did you do it?"

After hearing this, Alice immediately lowered her head like a little quail.

"Although I don't know who you are, I want to remind you that in this world, there are some people whose fate and karma are beyond your touch."

"Ah, but, you have more 'fate' than last time we met~ This is a good thing, this is a good thing~"

He quickly returned to his previous loose tone, regardless of whether the child in front of him understood what he said.

Because Zhou Fangzun came out from the laundry room.

He probably didn't expect Alice to be standing in the hall, so he could only hide the wet bear behind him.

Without this obvious action, Alice would probably continue to immerse herself in Yato's inhuman words just now, but unfortunately she noticed the Red King and also noticed that he hid his little bear to the action behind.

"Respect! Have you washed it for me!!!"

She jumped over happily, her curly hair dancing in lovely arcs in the air.

"Thank you!!!"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

All silence has a reason.

And this "thank you" from his daughter, this stupid father really deserves it.

Alice ran up to him and waited for a while, only to find that when Zhou Fangzun didn't intend to take the bear out, she used her subjective initiative to go around behind Zhou Fangzun.

But who knew, when she turned around, Zhou Fangzun turned around too.

The two stalemate for a minute or two, Zhou Fangzun didn't let Alice see his hands behind his back and the bear he was holding.

"Why did you hide my bear!"

Alice is in a hurry.

"You can't take it back! You gave it to me!"

"I didn't take it back...I'll give it to you after it dries." Zhou Fangzun's reason was completely unconvincing.

"Then I can dry it by myself!" Alice started to circle around him again, "Give it back to me!"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Alice by the collar, which stopped her dog-herding behavior around him.

Alice, who was caught by the collar of fate as a matter of course, began to struggle.

Seeing that she opened her mouth to call Kusanagi Izumo's name loudly, the Red King immediately made a decision.

His hands could almost cover Alice's entire face, and it was naturally easy to keep her silent.

"I'll give you back your bear, don't you cry."

Alice: "?"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?"

Why am I not allowed to cry?

Facing his daughter's rhetorical question, the third king was speechless.He just silently took out the little bear doll that Alice had been thinking about from behind him.

How to describe this little puppet bear who was baptized by the Red King himself?

Back when Zhou Fangzun was walking on the street, when he was thinking about what gift to give Alice, the little bear that appeared in the doll-clamping machine immediately attracted the attention of the Red King.

The bear dolls on the market are generally brown plush, plus a pair of eyes made of black tortoiseshell hemispheres.

Cute is cute, but Zhou Fangzun always felt that it was almost meaningless.

Until he passed the claw machine and met the blue-eyed little bear sitting among a bunch of little polar bears, little emperor penguins, enlarged octopus sausages, radish foxes, and cabbage puppies, he stopped involuntarily. .

After some tangling, the Red King finally walked into the game hall behind the claw machine to exchange tokens.

And after he took out all the cash on his body, the Red King, who was fooled by the loose clip and couldn't bear it, punched the claw machine angrily.

The glass of the claw machine shattered, and the boss who heard the news also shuddered - he was so angry and scared that he really didn't dare to seek compensation from this man, after all, he looked too much like an extremely Dao brother is big.

The boss said with a trembling voice that the bear was given to you. Zhou Fangzun thought about it, said thank you first, and took the bear back to the hospital. The next day he brought the compensation to the game hall, but he asked the boss to adjust the clip before he left. strength.

In short, although this little bear worth 7 is very noble, it is also true that it is cute.

Even when he brought money to compensate, Zhou Fangzun did not feel "losing" at all.

Because there are very few bear dolls with blue eyes, because Alice likes them very much.

But now this once cute little bear, after being squeezed twice with uncontrollable strength by the king of water and red, the cotton in the whole bear's body showed a free and unrestrained attitude.

The left arm was sunken, and the right head was also dented.

What's more terrible is the color of this little bear.

Zhou Fangzun put it into the water and rubbed it with detergent. He was deeply shocked to find that the water turned black with rubbing.

There are two reasons for the black water: the flannelette faded, or Alice played with it too dirty.

But no matter what kind, Zhou Fangzun felt that he had to clean up this little bear.

So he frantically poured detergent into the basin, and rubbed Alice's beloved bear over and over again in order to squeeze out the black water in the fleece.

At the beginning, the Red King's patience had not been worn away, and he would wring out the water from the little bear's body part by part.But after a long time, Zhou Fangzun, who didn't see much effect, became irritable.

This irritability was not only reflected in the amount of detergent he used, but also in the way he wrung out the bear—Zhou Fangzun directly rolled the bear into a ball and pressed it between his palms.

The efficiency was indeed high, but the cotton in the little bear's body began to move in a big way.

What made the Red King wake up was that during the last scrubbing process, he was surprised to find that the little bear, which would have changed from dark brown to black when placed in the water, had now begun to show some signs of turning white. .

It’s over.

Cubs became old bears.

Zhou Fangzun fished out the little bear, thinking that before Alice found it, he would throw it on the balcony to dry first, and then find someone else to repair it, but it was too late to say anything now.

Alice, whose mouth was covered, looked at her little bear who seemed to have been trampled by a horse's hoof, and the expression on her face gradually disappeared.

"...I'll buy you a new one." The Red King, who was trying to make up for it, quickly comforted her.

"I want this one, I want this one..."

Alice cried out loudly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
